Lynton Lynmouth Cliff Railway

Railways in Exmoor

Exmoor is primarily an upland area made
up mainly of small villages and hamlets. The largest settlements are
Porlock, Dulverton, Lynton, and Lynmouth, Simonsbath and Wheddon Cross.

The Exmoor region is home or or was once home to a
number of interesting railways. These range from the now extinct 45 mile
long Somerset and Devon Railway, which connected Taunton with Barnstaple,
to the 862 ft. Funicular Cliff Railway, which still connects Lynton and
Lynmouth. Back to Railways
